Test Bed Development for Detection and Diagnosis of Prostate Cancer via Internet and Wireless Communication Networks

Abstract

During the summer of 2007, seven HBCU undergraduates from Jackson State University participated in our prostate cancer research and training program at Stevens Institute of Technology. In this HBCU Undergraduate Collaborative Summer Training program, we address detection and diagnosis of prostate cancer in two technology and application aspects, (a) remote detection and diagnosis through Internet and wireless networks and (b) computer-aided detection and diagnosis. With remote detection and diagnosis, we will provide prostate cancer screenings to men in rural regions and developing countries. With computer-aided detection and diagnosis, we will develop techniques to reduce the costs of telepathology for prostate cancer detection and diagnosis, both in terms of transmission costs and online reading costs.
